"Thirteen" might be one of the most perfect songs I've ever heard...teenage
angst, insecure sexual emotions, frustration and longing all wrapped up and
perfectly emoted. Not groundbreaking ("Wouldn't It Be Nice" took a much more
sanitized view of the same topic and did it exceptionally well)...but
perfect.
